Conner Kent X Reader - Tumblr Posts

Are you taking request for young justice still?

if you are could I request the OG young justice team, if not all then just, Kaldur'ahm with a (gn) Ninja Reader. They grew up in the Ninja clan and are highly skilled. Because the Ninja clan their from specializes in stealth attacks, reader usually doesn't realize people have no idea when they enter a room because they're natural sneaky and quite.

Characters included: Kaldur'ahm / Aqualad , M'Gann M'Orzz / Miss Martian , Conner Kent / Superboy

Pronouns used: None

Relationship: Platonic or romantic, up to you to decide

Note(s) : Yes of course, I wasn't able to do all because I haven't watched it in a while, so have Kaldur, Conner and M'Gann. Sorry it took so long 😭 I procrastinate a lot

Kaldur'ahm / Aqualad

He's so tired man

Bro was trying to chill when you fucking appeared out of nowhere and made him regret being on land

You probably couldn't even tell cause his just eyes widened for a moment before sighing

He doesn't mind too much as long as you try to make him aware

But honestly it's kinda funny so you'll probably continue being sneaky on purpose this time

Kaldur loves your skills as a ninja and appreciates your stealth in missions, but God if he didn't feel his entire body shudder with complete and utter shock

It's rare you're paired with him because stealth tends to be better alone or only talking through coms

M'Gann M'Orzz / Miss Martian

The first time you appeared behind her she screamed and then walked away in complete embarrassment

Now she always has her mind link on with you

But even then, its not enough

Literally cried once after a horror movie marathon, nobody talks about it

You and her go on stealth missions a lot due to her being able to sneak around invisible and you basically being stealthy enough to be considered invisible

Sometimes when you two are feeling funny you'll spook people on your missions before moving away, you get scolded afterwards but it's worth it

Honestly she doesn't mind too much, I think she'd get use to it after a while.

M'Gann will sometimes try pranking you back, so far it's only worked if you're tired.

Conner Kent / Superboy

Straight up punted the fuck out of you the first time while audibly yelling

Conner probably stomped off before coming back and apologising

Probably cried in his room feeling bad tbh

Now whenever you do it he jumps 5 feet in the air like a cat before angrily walking off

Sometimes he does this with enemies, he gets so awkward after it that he just beats them up. They end up worse than if batman found them

Conner tells you half seriously that he doesn't want you to do it publicly, both out of embarrassment and fear he could hurt you on instinct.

You probably try being less quiet like coughing when you enter a room, but it happens occasionally and he might start an argument over it ngl

With how he was in s1, I imagine it'd be like reasoning with a brick wall

Bro is the opposite of stealth in s1 you'd never be paired with this guy

HALLOWEEN SPECIAL

How would some of my favourite characters be if their S/O loves Halloween?

Media Included : Mortal Kombat 11, Insomniacs Spider-Man, Young Justice.

Characters Included : Mileena, Kitana, Peter Parker, Miles Morales, Artemis, Superboy.

Note (s) : I originally had a poll and all of MK11 won but honestly I would've gotten no enjoyment out of writing it, so, have this instead.

Be warned I haven't watched young justice in like a year.

Mileena

Mileena doesn't know what Halloween is, there isn't much of an equivalent in Outworld that would make sense for her to participate in, however, she's definitely interested after learning about it from you. Especially after seeing how excited you are.

After realising she can carve whatever she wants in the pumpkin, she gets very excited. Mileena would most likely carve a 'scary' face, similar to a Tarkatans with the large teeth, but, she isn't the most skilled artist... It ends up looking a bit wonky and more funny than scary.

If she's in a bad mood, she'd probably try to carve Kitana dying, and it would end up more like a blob than anything coherent.

She likes the decorations, and might help put a few up, but prefers them not to be in her way, she will absolutely destroy any fake cobwebs or skeletons in her path.

If you want to stay at home and put on the likes of 'Hocus Pocus' 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' or even horror movies like 'Halloween', she's interested in them all. She especially finds the portrayals of sorcerers to be hilarious and wants to show Shang Tsung how incompetent humans think they are.

Mileena finds horror movies fascinating but sometimes she's very critical of the gore and how unrealistic it is, one time she stormed out of the house because of how horrible a CGI blood splatter was.

She probably won't bother matching costumes or even going in a costume herself, she's just not interested enough for whatever cheap gimmicks Earthrealm's cooked up.

I actually think she'd just go in her regular clothes but without a mask, it's uncomfortable to be seen as scary, but, she doesn't want to wear a ridiculous costume or spend hours walking around in a mask.

Mileena is most excited for the trick or treating itself, the fact you can just go up to people's houses and ask for sweets and people will just give it?? She's so shocked, nothing like that would ever happen in Outworld.

She won't be too smiley until she gets home though, whenever the door opens she's sweating nervously, Mileena almost wishes she brought her mask to hide her face.

She always manages to stay up until everybody else goes home or falls asleep, and carries, she insists you're not walking even if you're not tired at all, you back home, where she finds the pumpkins destroyed and your house covered in toilet paper.

She vows to kill the person who ruined your pumpkins, and probably ends up springing a Halloween massacre for your area.

Kitana

She's definitely heard of Halloween from Johnny or Sonya, but she's never really been able to dress up or be too involved. Kitana has responsibilities in Outworld, and she can't risk them for a holiday, regardless of her desire to participate.

Once she sees how excited you are, however, she decides to make up an excuse to go to Earthrealm, it's only for a few hours, and she's a bit antsy over the decision, but she's doing it for you nonetheless.

Kitana helps you put up the decorations, laughing at how silly some of them look, and she takes great joy in spending some time with you that she usually can't.

Her pumpkin carving skills aren't too bad, she's not some master artist with them, but she can make a mean scary face.

I don't think she'd want to dress up, but she's definitely alright if you want to, she'll share her opinion on your costume and maybe suggest a different one if she thinks it'd fit you better.

She really enjoys things like The Nightmare Before Christmas, wholesome yet with a bit of scary elements thrown in. She especially likes Hocus Pocus when it comes to the family part of it, it's no secret how messed up hers is.

Kitana's amused at how magic is portrayed in both Halloween movies and by certain costumes, she nearly loses it after seeing an old man mask under the 'wizard' title.

Kitana personally doesn't enjoy the gore heavy and over the top violence of horror movies, although, she will admit she enjoys the fight choreography of some of them. She prefers psychological horrors.

Kitana is rather nervous about trick or treating, she loves the idea of the fun and sweet part, but the idea that the stranger could've poisoned the sweets makes her nervous, even if you assure her that the signs are obvious and if there are none it should be safe to consume.

She inspects the sweets around five times before even considering you take a bite.

She looks like some type of bodyguard, following behind you with swift and graceful steps, she lets herself have fun of course, but her guard is always up.

When you both get home, she's very happy to rest with you and sleep, but if duty calls she might have to cut the night short and return to Outworld.

Peter Parker

Peter skips out on a holiday or two sometimes, his identity as Spider-Man is far too important, and Halloween is the one that usually gets skipped. Aunt May never really celebrated it, she usually just left out a bowl of sweets. MJ isn't an avid Halloween person, neither is Harry after he grew up. So, it was a huge surprise at how invested in Halloween you are.

Peter isn't that good of a pumpkin carver, so he typically does the regular 'spooky face' with wobbly lines, it's his favourite and was his go to ever since he was a kid.

He finds matching costumes cute and especially loves dressing up in his old Spider-Man costume and making one especially for you, of course, neither of you include the web shooters and he makes sure to use an old enough suit where there's no tech in it.

Peter's great at hanging up decorations, he has specialised web fluid that can last for a few days or even a week, so, he uses that to his advantage and usually does that along with crawling on the ceiling.

He loved trick or treating as a kid, it was the one time of the year he could dress up and not be a nerd, he and Harry had so much fun together. It's really nostalgic, and sometimes people will point out your costumes, finding it funny that grown adults are going as the city's hero.

He adores trick or treating, it makes him feel like a kid again. Although, unfortunately a lot of crime tends to happen on Halloween, so, sometimes he does have to slip away quickly to punch a few bad guys.

He might check once or twice to see if there's anything wrong with the candy, but besides that he sometimes forgets how deadly some of them can be. He does feel his heart race a bit when you take a bite, only to reveal nothing is wrong, he lets out a huge sigh of relief.

Peter's nervous watching psychological thrillers and ones that use the whole 'creepy kid aesthetic' to its full potential. He's fine with gorey slasher flicks, and even enjoys some of them for the horrible acting and bad effects.

He prefers more kid friendly stuff, like The Nightmare Before Christmas, but he nearly cried watching Coraline for the first time.

Miles Morales

Miles has been a huge Halloween enjoyer since he was a kid, he used to spend hours trying to handmake a costume with his parents help, he misses those days. He's never missed Halloween, or any holiday, but miles has been close a few times.

After he started dating you he realised just how much fun it can be and that he shouldn't sacrifice time with his loved ones, especially not on a day you both love.

Miles, while not exactly having an over abundance of money to do so, will a hundred percent try to hand make costumes for the both of you, with your help of course. Maybe it's something small like Morticia Addams and Gomez Addams, or maybe it's a huge mecha costume, whichever it is, he has fun making and designing the costumes.

He's a master pumpkin carver, give him any image and he can accurately create it in pumpkin form, regardless of whether you're also like that or have trash pumpkin carving skills, he's putting yours together proudly and pointing it out to anybody who sees them.

Miles loves trick or treating, you and him walk around New York apartments for hours and hours getting all of the sweets you can, he even web swings sometimes to try and get as much as possible before Halloween ends.

I don't think he'd think to look for any poison or razor blades in the sweets you two are given, he's heard some stories for sure, but it's never happened anywhere close to him, so he assumes you're both safe.

Like Peter, he can help put up decorations by climbing on walls and ceilings, plus his webs, and so he's a huge help, although he's personally not a fan of any snake based decorations. They creep him out.

While he can handle more scary horror movies, he still reaches for and squeezes your hand whenever a kill scene happens, although, for older ones or newer ones that are bad looking, he prefers to analyse the artistic side of things. Special effects and practical effects are so interesting to him. Not only that, he could spend hours talking about the music and themes of each character or event.

He loves any stop motion, Nightmare Before Christmas, Coraline, and Corpse Bride to name a few. Not only are they just beautiful, but any bad storylines or things that haven't aged well don't really matter when he's staring at something so pretty.

Artemis

Artemis never had the chance to celebrate Halloween as a kid, she wishes she did because it always sounded so fun, the most she managed to get was her mother putting out sweets for kids in costumes to nab. Some part of her wishes that she was one of them at some point.

When she begins dating you, your interest in Halloween is one she can greatly relate to, perhaps for different reasons, but, it's something shared nonetheless.

Artemis likes the idea of dressing in costumes, it's a quarter of her job so she's used to it by now, but she can admit she feels too childish when she wears a vampire or any other Halloween-esque costume. She thinks you look cute in them, though.

She's used to helping her mother around the house, so when you ask for help putting up decorations she's alright with that, whether or not you can't reach because you're short, you can't do it all on your own, or if you just want to get it done quicker, she'll help you.

Artemis is a decent pumpkin carver, she can make a few impressive faces, but unless she spends hours and hours, she can't do a full body or anything other than a spooky face without it being a little wonky.

She genuinely does enjoy going trick or treating, she can come across a little blank and emotionless when walking around, but she really does feel happy and safe with you. Even if you two are walking alone at night knocking on strangers doors for candy.

She definitely checks every piece for any poison or razor blades, she's not taking any chances with you.

Artemis loves more childish movies, don't tell anybody in the tower though! She especially loves ones like Coraline, she feels really seen and can even relate to her a tiny bit.

She's not a big horror fan, especially not ones that try to make the unsympathetic sympathetic, it's just boring watches to her usually. Gore ones are easier to get through, it's just mindless slashing and bad acting, sometimes they're so bad that it becomes funny though, she enjoys those ones. Artemis isn't the biggest fan of psychological thrillers either, not because they're more scary to her, they're just more uncomfortable.

Superboy

Superboy has most likely heard of Halloween, but never had the chance to participate because... Well, you know. He isn't very interested in it, the costume part, the sweets part, it's not exactly his thing, regardless of if he's tried it before or not.

He's surprised at just how excited you are about Halloween, it's not like he despises the holiday, it just feels so alien to him. Despite that, Conner will help put up decorations in hard to reach places, or if something is heavy, he might grumble about it, but he truthfully doesn't mind.

Well, as said before, he isn't too interested in the costumes. A lot of them are just too silly for him, but maybe with some convincing he could do a matching couples one. He likes when you dress up, though, he thinks you look cute and even funny in some of them.

Conner isn't great at pumpkin carving, he gets frustrated easily and might smash the poor thing, despite that, he may either act like it was on purpose or just hide it from you.

He doesn't enjoy trick or treating, because of his unwillingness to dress up, he's either a guy in a superman shirt who looks like he's about to commit a felony, or a huge, quiet guy in a goofy costume whose fist is always angrily clenched.

He can tell if any sweets are bad, his vision makes it easy, and he will absolutely smack the sweet out of that person's hand and begin yelling at them.

Conner is alright with horror movies, he's not scared by them because he knows they're not real. But, that doesn't mean he likes what he's watching. Most of them are boring or just plain stupid to him. He thinks more kid friendly ones are to his style, they're not overly edgy, funny coming from him, while also not being boring because most kid media is designed to keep a kids attention.

Catch?

Pairing: Conner x GN!Reader

Summary: You and Conner are out on their farm. You’re doing chores as Conner tries to get you to play catch. He throws the ball at you and you catch it and gives him your attention

A/N: you are also Kryptonian

Conner sits down at the bottom of the windmill whilst throwing and catching a ball in hand as he sees his partner hang out the washing. "I can feel you staring." you comment, not even bothered to turn around. "Good. It shows that I can't take my eyes off my beautiful partner."

"Shut up." you continues to hang up the washing. Conner then decides to throw the ball towards you. You catch it as it's next to your head. You slowly turn your body around to look at your boyfriend.

He chuckles nervously and gets up from the windmill. He points towards your shared farmhouse before stuffing his hands in his pockets and walking off. You fly up and land back down in front of Conner.

"Uh, catch?" He asks with a nervous smile. "Do you want to play since you have my attention?" you throw and catch the ball with one hand. "No. I just wanted to get your attention." He wraps his arms around your waist and bringing you in against his body.

"Well, you have it." you lean in closer to him. "And you need to deserve it." you fly out of his arms. Conner shakes his head before flying after you. He hovers in the air and tries to find you.

Something then comes crashing into him, making them fall towards the ground. Conner twists his body around to see his partner having a smile on their face and laughs escaping. He wraps his arms around you and flies off back into the sky before you hit the ground.

Conner spins the both of you around as he starts to laugh as well. Your laughs die down once you hover in the air. Conner leans his forehead against yours with a smile on both your faces. You push him away slightly. "Catch." Conner tilts his head in confusion.

You drop yourself to the ground. Conner dives after you and catches you before you hit the ground. "Caught." He smiles cockily at you. He picks you up and lands on the ground with your legs around his waist. "Yeah, yeah. Smartass."

Hold Up

Pairing: Conner x GN!Reader

Summary: Conner reads a book as you do some gymnastics. You get his help and continues to do it

A/N: I know the one doing the splits is Tim, but imagine it’s you instead

Your hands grip the back of the couch to lift your body up to do a handstand. You fall back onto the ground to walk to the kitchen. “Want a drink?!” you call out to your boyfriend.

"Water, please!” Conner calls back.

Strolling back in the lounge, he blindly grabs the chilled bottle into his hand as in his other is a comic, which his eyes are fixed on.

Taking a quick drink, you walk to the back of the couch whilst pulling Conner’s free hand out and leaving it up. “Hold up?” Conner doesn’t leave his attention on the comic. “Hold up.” you confirmed.

Placing your right hand on his outstretched one, you heave yourself into the air, your legs standing straight. Your legs separate into the splits, your left hand stretched out for balance.

Conner move his hand in front of him to be face to face with you. “Hi.” He smiles at you, making you have a smile in return. “Hey.”

“Want take out tonight?”

“I have a feeling we’re gonna have the group here and you’re gonna ask Dick to get the food.”

"Yup.” He pops the ‘p’ as his lips press against yours.

Could you write a Conner Kent (from the Young Justice cartoon) x Reader oneshot, where Reader meets Conner at school and helps him out during his first few weeks there? And they grow closer to eachother?

I’m am so sorry this took way to long

Warning:None

Word count:1703 (sorry it’s so short)

When the second bell rang you where all the way in the parking lot behind your high school. Happy Harbor high was built like a prison and you had to run from the parking lot and through the gates to get to the front of the buildings. Each day you pulled up to school at exactly 7:55 leaving you five minutes to dash across campus.

You first-period teacher was used to you bursting in right as the bell rings. Sometimes if you were really late you brought her coffee and prayed she didn't mark you tardy.

Today was one of those days.

Larry the guard outside the gate who always stands out there ten minutes after the bell to let you in greets you with a smile. Large black coffee no cream two sugars.

You handed him his coffee and raced through the gate as he locked it behind you. The quad was barren and empty. Most kids were already in class since it started at 8:00 and it is 8:15.

Fifteen minutes late not your worst but definitely not good. When you got to the large doors of your indoor school. The usually crowded halls where ghostly empty. Your class was just down the hall past the front office. The attendance ladies sat in front of the clear doors facing the hallway. Anyone who dares to pass by after class has begun will earn a tardy slip followed by two hours of detention.

SO you stand peaking your head at the door to see if the two demons look away. They seem to be talking to another kid, that poor soal. When you think they aren't going to look up for a while you do your best tiptoe past the door.

You are almost out of sight about to get off scot-free when your victories thoughts are so rudely interrupted, "Miss Y/L/N."

Mrs. Cox had poked her head out of the door looking you like you are a mouse who had stumbled into the lion's den, "Yes?"

"Come in dear." Her smirk turned into a sickeningly sweet smile. One that you had only seen painted on her face in front of the principal. Nevertheless, you followed the hungry lion into the den. The office lights where a flickering hospital blue. You followed her right up to her tall desk next to the boy she had been talking to earlier, "Mr. Kent this is Y/N she will be the one showing you around school this week."

You had never signed up to be a campus guide, "Wait wha-?

"Don't you remember Y/N? to work off all those detentions you have for being tardy."

Just because you weren't late to first period doesn't mean you weren't a little late for some of the others. It looks like Mrs. Cox is using that against you now. "Yes of course."

Mrs. Cox smiled and handed the boy a map of the school along with his class schedule. It was during this you finally got a good look at the boy. He was tall with short black hair and bright blue eyes. He was quite muscular for boys your age, he would probably be good on the football team.

"Ready?" you asked him once he had gathered all of his stuff. He didn't respond, instead, he just grabbed his bag and started walking towards the door.

You sigh realizing how much of a pain this is going to be. You look at his schedule and see that his first-class is not far away from yours so you take him there first and tell him you will meet him outside his room after class to show him his next one.

~~~~

When you got over to his classroom he stood leaning against the door. "Alright, dude what's your next class?"

"Conner."

"What?"

"My name is Connor, not Dude."

You laugh for a second and nodd, "Okay Conner where is your next class?"

Luckily he had the same class as you. You both had art, which was your favorite class, so you wouldn't be late.

When you both got to your class you sat together in the back. Today you knew you would be painting which was one of your favorites. After your teacher gave the class isles and a canvas you were allowed to paint something in nature. You mixed your paints getting started ready to paint a beautiful forest scene. As you began you felt yourself drifting off into a zone. All of your attention was on the artwork in front of you. As you reached next to you to grab water to clean your brush you accidentally knocked over the palet of paint, it landed upsidedown on Conners jeans.

Immediately you sprung up pulling it off and seeing the mixture of colors on his clothes. "I am so sorry," so mumble trying to gather your stuff.

Conner just sighs, "It's fine."

"Are you sure?" you ask upset that you spilled paint all over him on his first day.

Conner takes his paintbrush and dips it in red as you stre at him confused he takes the paintbrush with the dollup of red and brushes it across your nose, "Even," he states with a flat face.

You are confused at his lack of emotion. You decide to grab some blue from the bottle next to you and swipe it across Conners unsuspecting cheek. He looks back at you with an eyebrow raised as you grin at him evilly. He takes a thicker brush now, dipping it in some green and drags it across your arm. You gawk at him and grab your own thick brushing swirling it purple and swipe it across his mouth. He laughs for the first time and grabs a handful of pink paint and smushes it around on your arms. You gasp earning some shushes from the students around you. With your left hand, you grab orange and yellow with your right, you grab Conners head and rub the paint up his cheeks to his hair. Connor dunks his hands in green and blue and flicks the color so it splatters across your shirt. You grab your own colors and do the same back. Connor is about to do it again when your teacher interrupts, "Miss Y/L/N, Mr. Kent! go to the principal's office.

You and Connor both look at each other shocked but still trying to contain your giggles. You each stand from your seats and walk towards the door. Your classmates watch you both as you walk in silence. When you finally step from the awkwardly quiet room you burst out laughing. You can see Conner smile next to you, "Sorry," you say again.

"It's okay," he shrugs.

When you both make your way into the principal's office the rude office ladies make you stand and wait not wanting to get any paint on their seats. It turns out the principal was out that day so you both got off. You both had to spend the rest of the day with paint on your clothes. You were able to wash the paint off your arms and face but splatters still remained on your shirt, and conner still had the stain on his jeans.  You took Conner to the rest of his classes that day. After the incident in art you both talked a lot more. He seemed to open up after. That and you started to enjoy you ring the new guy around campus. When the school day was over you both said your goodbyes and you went back home.

~~~~

The bell rings through your ears. This time however, you are already seated in your class. This morning you had woken up extra early in order to get to school on time to take Conner to his class. Your teacher was surprised to see you all in before the bell for the first time ever. Your teacher was still a bit flustered well the bell rang for class to end and you exited. After you left you found Conner standing outside his classroom and took him to class. You both chatted and laughed as you walked around the halls. Thankfully you didn't have art today so you wouldn't have to go back in that awkward class.

The lunch bell rings and you drag yourself out of your boring math class. You are mindlessly walking down the hall when a familiar boy runs up beside you. You smile looking over at Conner glad to have made a new friend at this school. You turn out to the quart-yard to find a relaxing spot in the grass to sit and eat your lunch. When you finally find your spot under a tree in the shade Conner sits beside you pulling out his food as you do the same. You both sit in a comfortable silence eating peacefully. Lunch is partially through when a girl around your age with light skin and red hair runs in front of you both. She doesn’t pay you much attention as she turns to Connor. You had never seen the girl b4fore and wondered how she new the new student but you guessed by her cheerleading uniform it was for school spirit. “Hey Conner want to come eat lunch with me?” She asked smiling ant the boy beside you.

You sat quietly observing the conversation between the two, ‘No thank you Megan,” Conner replied curtly making the girl you now know as Megan frown.

“Okay,” the girl shrugs,”see you after school then,”

After she walks away you turn back to Conner,”Who was that?” You ask him.

Conner looks at you seemingly piecing together his response in his mind, “She’s a friend from this after school club.”

You hum not quite believing him, “what club?’

Connor tilts his head at you filling his eyes, “can’t tell you.”

You sighed dramatically, “will you ever tell me?”

“Maybe some day.”

And he did. You where surprised to say the least. Even years after this conversation when you finally found out his secret you where first speechless. However there is one thing you did say,

“Coolest club ever!”

Welcome back to the all loved series of “ waid dream that I turn it to short or long fic’s

Featuring: Conner Kent(super boy)

I was standing on the top of my apartment building enjoying the view of the city I lived in before I felt the first drop of rain hit my head

in a blink of an eye I was falling be it was only for about 5sec’s before someone caught me?

“ wo! There Mrs can’t have you falling of if there” the stranger said putting you back on the roof of the building

you turned to see “ s-super boy?” “ the one and only” what are you doing here in gotham”

“caught up with a old friend of mine but I guess I ended up kicking you I don’t mined tho” he gave me a smile it made me get butterflies in the pit of my stomach
